CREATE A GOAL

First, determine if you want to create a personal fundraising page, join an existing supporter led event, or create a page for a supporter led event.

Then, decide on a fundraising goal - this will be displayed on the top of your page and will let you and your followers know the status of your project.

SHARE!

Once your page has been created, you can copy and paste the URL and share it via email, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or any other social networking site that you wish to use.

Personal Fundraising Pages are a way for anyone to create awareness and raise money easily. All a personal fundraising page really is, is your own website that allows you to collect donations by accepting credit cards. The greatest part is that you can take advantage of the network effect by sharing it over all the social networking sites with a click of a button. You are now able to increase the size of your supporter led event(s) or just create an awareness campaign. It’s fun to see how you can take advantage of the network effect.
